Thought I might resuurect this thread for fans of Netflix, Amazon, etc. Not everything is necessarily brand new, but jewels are jewels, aren't they? No matter their age.

So, let's see...what have we been enjoying? We've been watching Foyle's War. ITV miniseries, I think, rebroadcast on Masterpiece in the States. Mysteries set during WWII on England's southeast coast. It is tiptop in historical accuracy, and the plotlines arise out of the war itself. Michael Kitchen is the titular Detective Foyle, with a nice blend of sharpness and geniality.

I've been revisiting Ian Richardson's Machiavellian turn in House of Cards (BBC series from 1990). Delightfully cruel, in a whispering, raised-eyebrow sort of way. I hear the series is being remade for American tv. It'll be totally toothless. We just (and my hat is off) aren't as wicked as the Brits. Your schoolgirls can reduce our Navy Seals to tears.
